“I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me. But it's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once and it's too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst. And then I remember to relax. And stop trying to hold on to it, then it flows through me like rain, and I can't feel anything but gratitude - for every single moment of my stupid little life.”
